I remember Ray Leonard admitted in the second Hearns fight that Hearns should have gotten the victory, of course that was only a draw. However, it does strike me as odd how many robberies the "victors" go along with. Usually, no matter how bad you beat someone they'll say they were winning every second of the fight before their opponent landed a lucky punch. I've seen guys dominated and knocked out twice who said if they had 98 rematches they'd win 98 of them, because now they got the guy's number. When Donaire lost to Walters though, he could have said he was old or small, but he just gave respect and said "He kicked my ass." Same thing with Sergio Martinez, who could have metioned his age or knee when Cotto beat him, but he refused to make excuses.
i watched my mate compete for an amateur state title a month ago. i thought he clearly won 2 of the 3 rounds. and even before cards were read out his opponent asked him how long he had been training (my mate - 1 and a half years , he had been training for 4), hearing that he said "wow congrats man your good, you got the better of me" and then he celebrated when he got given the win ? i mean we walked out with our heads held high and the bout was close but even he thought he lost. its a shame to see
Would have been nice of Leonard to admit to that in the ring. Say to Hearns right after and let him rightfully savor the moment. Leonard conceded he had lost months after the fact.
lmfao, bro, you must dream of the best movie ever. pac encourages fighters to hit him ? he is really dumb but i dont even think he would be that dumb with that china he carries around with him
Man, no offense to you at all. But i envision you as having a tattoo of Pac's face on you, your bedroom walls covered in posters of him, and a shrine of him somewhere in your house. Either that, or you are him just posting on here anonymously. lmao
Early in his career John L Sullivan offered $100 for any fighter who could last four rounds against him. Most who tried to win the money, simply tried to survive. One fighter called Captain James Dalton went toe to toe with Sullivan, and got knocked out in the third round. Sullivan gave him the money anyway, because he had put up a brave fight.
Dude, that would be awesome, like a face size face tattoo over his own face of Manny Pacquiao! The less he naturally looks like Pacquiao the better.
I like it when one boxer let the other guy finish making equipment adjustments or some idiosyncrasy or pre-round rituals.
He also had the opportunity to win the fight by DQ in the 8th (I think?) after Azumah punched him in the throat after the bell but decided to carry on and win the belt like a champion, rather than winning it on his stool. And then of course showed respect to Nelson despite the controversy. One of the classiest fighters who ever lived.
